1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The optimal interval between myomectomy and pregnancy is often considered to be 3-6 months after laparoscopic myomectomy, as it is necessary to wait for the uterine wall to heal. However, no guidelines from any country were found to support this specific timeframe explicitly. Given the current trend of older maternal age, the contraceptive period following myomectomy can lead to reduced pregnancy success rates. Further consideration of the permitted pregnancy period after myomectomy is warranted. Against this background, we present a case of pregnancy occurring one month after myomectomy in a 40-year-old woman. She underwent laparoscopic myomectomy for multiple uterine fibroids and achieved spontaneous pregnancy with a menstrual period of one month after surgery. She delivered a 2,692-gram infant by scheduled cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation, with no notable postoperative complications. We reviewed the literature regarding the permitted pregnancy period following laparoscopic myomectomy.
